What you get

A film, and the photographs nobody else takes.

The film

45–75 seconds, vertical, graded and scored. Your warm-up, your race, your finish, and the minute after.

The photographs

Made after you finish, not during. Medal, teammates, the face you make when it's over. The official photographers are covering a thousand bibs — I'm covering you.

Shot on

Sony cinema cameras and G Master glass, handheld and gimbal. Delivered as a download link. No watermark, yours to post.

Which stations make the film depends on where I can position that day. I'd rather say that than promise all eight and hand you six.

Athlete portrait Athlete training

Recent sports and fitness work.

How it works

Four steps.

Send the questionnaire

Five minutes. Your division, your day, what you want.

I map the weekend

I can only be in one place at a time, so I schedule all five days together rather than first-come. Everyone hears back by August 25 — sooner if your window is clear.

We lock your window

Once HYROX publishes your wave, we confirm the exact time and a meeting point.

Race day, then delivery

Pay by Zelle or cash on the day. Files by your delivery date.

About

Brendan McDonough

23rdstreetmedia, out of McLean, Virginia — twenty minutes from the Convention Center. I shoot commercial and sports video across D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland.

I'll be at the Convention Center on Thursday, September 3, walking the floor before the first booking — sightlines, lighting, and where the race actually breathes.

FAQ

Questions worth answering.

When will I hear back?

By August 25. I don't book first-come — I wait until I can see the whole weekend, then build a schedule that fits as many athletes as possible. Some heats overlap and I can only be in one place, so booking in order would mean turning people away I could otherwise have covered. If your window is clear you'll hear sooner.

How do I pay?

Zelle or cash on race day. Nothing up front, no deposit. I'll confirm your slot by email once we've agreed the scope.

What if you can't cover my heat?

I'll tell you straight away rather than leaving you hanging, and where I can I'll point you toward another shooter I'd trust with it.

What if something goes wrong?

Live events are unpredictable — crowds shift, sightlines close, heats run late. You're paying on race day, after I've shot, so if I can't deliver what we agreed then you don't pay. I'm not interested in keeping money for work I didn't do.

What if I have to pull out?

Tell me as early as you can and there's nothing to settle — you haven't paid anything yet. Just don't leave it to race morning; that's a slot another athlete could have used.

What exactly is Raw Footage?

Everything I shoot that day, sent to you by WeTransfer — no edit, no grade, no music. Plus the post-race photographs, unedited. You cut it however you want. It's the option for people who edit their own content.

Are you affiliated with HYROX?

No. 23rdstreetmedia is independent — you book directly with me. HYROX's official photography partner is Sportograf, and their package is separate from anything here.

How is this different from the official race photos?

Sportograf photographs everyone. Their cameras sit at the stations and shoot every bib that passes. I know your name, your bib and your heat, and I follow you.

Where can you shoot from?

Spectator areas and wherever the venue allows. I don't hold media credentials and won't promise restricted-area access. Less limiting than it sounds — the run loop brings you past the same point eight times.

I don't know my start time yet.

Almost nobody does. Send the form with your division and race day, and we'll lock the window when HYROX publishes waves.

Can you film my Doubles partner or Relay team?

Yes, at no extra cost — you're racing together, so everyone's in it. One film per booking covers the pair or the whole team.

Before you book

Worth knowing.

Tell me about your race.

Five minutes. I schedule the whole weekend at once, so everyone hears back by August 25 with a quote and a yes or no on their window.

Got it.

  1. You're on the list. I schedule all five race days together rather than first-come, so I can fit as many athletes in as possible.
  2. You'll hear back by August 25 — a quote and a straight yes or no on your window. Sooner if your slot is already clear.
  3. Pay on race day — Zelle or cash. Nothing up front.

Don't know your start time yet? Normal. We'll lock it once HYROX publishes waves.

Nothing to do in the meantime. Go train.
